Der englische Dichter John Milton schuf Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts mit seinem Versepos »Das verlorene Paradies« eines der bedeutendsten Werke der europäischen Literatur. In für die damalige Zeit untypischen Blankversen erzählt es von den wiederholten Versuchen Satans, Gott seine Macht zu entreißen. Als Satan in Schlangengestalt ins Paradies eindringt und den Sündenfall Adams und Evas provoziert, ist der Garten Eden schließlich verloren. Miltons kunstvolle Komposition von »Paradise Lost« blieb lange Zeit Wegweiser für die englische Literatur.

The powerful, visionary, Booker Award–winning novel about the complicated relationships between three outcasts of mixed European and Maori heritage.“This book is just amazingly, wondrously great.” —Alice WalkerIn a tower on the New Zealand sea lives Kerewin part Maori, part European, asexual and aromantic, an artist estranged from her art, a woman in exile from her family.One night her solitude is disrupted by a visitor—a speechless, mercurial boy named Simon, who tries to steal from her and then repays her with his most precious possession.As Kerewin succumbs to Simon’s feral charm, she also falls under the spell of his Maori foster father Joe, who rescued the boy from a shipwreck and now treats him with an unsettling mixture of tenderness and brutality.Out of this unorthodox trinity Keri Hulme has created what is at once a mystery, a love story, and an ambitious exploration of the zone where indigenous and European New Zealand meet, clash, and sometimes merge.Winner of both a Booker Prize and Pegasus Prize for Literature, The Bone People is a work of unfettered wordplay and mesmerizing emotional complexity.
